Port of Alicante

The Port of Alicante is a seaport in Alicante, Spain on the Mediterranean Sea used for industrial and passenger visitors. The port is run by using the Port Authority of Alicante. The port has been reinventing itself since the business decline the city suffered within the 1980s with most mercantile visitors misplaced in favour of Valencia's harbour. In current years, the Port Authority has mounted it as one of the most important ports in Spain for cruises, with 72 calls to port made by means of cruises in 2007, bringing a few 80,000 cruise passengers and 30,000 crew to the city every year. The 1990s marked in all likelihood the best adjustments within the current records of the port of Alicante.

The Special Plan for the Port 'PEP' in Spanish of 1992 allowed the port to plan a spread closer to the south, and made provisions for converting some of the quayside into a zone of seafood eating places, an extensive promenade with contemporary bars and nightclubs open until dawn. To reduce the visible impact on the coastline, integrating the port higher with the city, and as a consequence complying with neighborhood and European planning laws which now restrict the development of buildings especially tall homes next to the coast, the PEP made provision for a most top of 12 metres for homes within the port region ,leaving the opportunity for certain structures which includes cranes to exceed this top handiest if the necessity is proven. This Special Plan for the Port of 1992 accepted, the expansion of the port toward the south, in parallel to the coast and aspect-by using-aspect to the residential neighbourhoods of the south of the city,
